Cultivating Broom Corn.

Oer' INDIANA Farmer.
There seems to be a very general
lack acknowledge among farmers as
to the proper manner of cultivating
and saving broom corn; and with
your permission, Mr.. Editor, will
state few points which are absolute
ly essential in order to HAYES first
class article.
And first l would say, get some
good seed, which can be had at any
city seed store. Our choice is the
California Golden;" the improved
Evergreen is also good variety, and
rich dry land will raise good brush,
but fresh cleared hazel-nut and sugar
tree land is the best. Prepare your
land in the best manner and cultivate
your crop mostly before you plant it.
Wait till the ground gets warm,
generally about 18th to Goth of May,
then plant in drills about three and
a half feet apart, and in the drill about
five or six times as thick as common
corn. You would plant a grain of
common corn about every 16 inches;
in that space you ought to have at
least five stalks of broom corn. Now
we will suppose you havesuch stand
of plants. As soon as you can see the
rows, commence cultivation, and cult
vate thoroughly till about three feet
high. These remarks apply to sor-
ghum cane as well, only it should be
planted about half as thick as broom
corn and as far from it as. you can
set it.
Now you may let it alone until
ready to cut, which will be when the
seed of the earliest stalks begin to
color a little. A good many farm
ers lap over the crooked whisks long
time before they cut it. This is en-
tirely unnecessary trouble, as the
broom maker can use a reasonable
amount of crooked brush just as well
as any. Crooked brush is caused by
a very warm, rainy time when it is
heading out. When ready to cut, it
should be tabled" that is, two rows
broken over one another by getting
between the rows and walking back
wards, breaking the stalks about %
to 3 feet from the ground, and letting
them angle back just enough to hang
into the space between it and the next
row. Then the cutter will follow
with a shoe knife, grasp the brush
with the left hand and slightly pull
ing will slip out Of the "boot" and
cutting about 6 to inches off the
stalk. 1t may be piled on the table
in small punches. 1t should be
hauled to the shed before it rains, and
spread very thin on racks. If the
seed is not taken off Immediately, a
half dozen whisks piled together will
mould.
Now, farmers, if you will follow
these directions and raise first-class
brush, when you take it to the broom
maker and want it made on the
shares as most Of you do, I know OF
one that will do it with pleasure, but
if you will persist in raising coarse,
frizzy, kinky, red and black brush, OF
course nobody but you will want the
brooms and you will have to pay
for making them.

All ordinary remedies failing, we called our
family physician, who attempted to cure it
but it spread with almost incredible rapid,

lows person, from the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly,
painful blotched, malicious. We had no
rest at night, no piece by day. Finally, we
were advised to try the CUTICUBA REMEDY.
The effect was simply marvellous. In three
or four weeks complete cure was wrought,
leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion, your valuable
remedies saved his life, and today he is a
strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no

Food for the Sick.

A fish pudding is nice way to re-
serve the remains of any cooked fish. To
two tablespoonfuls of fish, cut small, add
one OF bread crumbs; the latter to be
soaked little in warm milk, then strained
and beaten fine. Add beaten egg and a
little salt, pour into buttered cup, cover
with a piece of white paper buttered, and
steam half an hour. The water should
not reach halfway up the cup and should
not boil too fast, or the egg will become
more hardened than is desirable. Salmon.
cells, mackerel, and behring's, being oily,
are unsuitable for invalds.
A few words on beet-tea, or our paper
will be incomplete.
1t used to be looked upon as sign of
goodness if beef-tea '.jellied' when cold.
This is an error No good beef-tea can
possibly '.jelly," for this reason-it must
not. or rather should not, be made of
gelatnous parts of the beef. Shin of
beef is suitable to make stock for clear
soup, but that is another matter. If shin
be used at all. it ought to be the top,
where thick piece of meat can be cut !;
but other parts are better-the round, or
the roll Of the bladebone. Ask the butch
er for lean tender steak cut it as if it
were to be cooked as steak, and exercise
the same care in the selection, and the
patient will reap the benefit. Now, as to
the mode of making the tea; it is a mis-
take 10 cut the beef in large pieces, or to
let it boil for single minute. Scrape the
meat finely and put it in jar of cold
water, with pinch of salt, to soak for an
hour or more if convenient; then tie it
down with paper over the mouth, and set
the jar in a saucepan of cold water; bring
this to boil, and let the water simmer
two or three hours Gin the saucepan, we
mean) and then strain off the tea; not
through fine misunderstanding should be
left behind but the meat; the brown.
thick looking particles that float about
contain nutriment. Now, as long as any
thing is cooked in a vessel set in another
the contents of the inner one cannot boil
this, in the case of beef-tea is as it should
be. The quantity of water must be regu
lated by the strength required, but pint
to pound is about the average.-CaS

RespiratiOn of Men and Woman.

| Among the difficulties that beset those
who seek to arrive at wise and Just con-
illusions on the woman question, not the
| least is our uncertainty as to the origin OF
such differences in physical and mental
aptitudes as are exhibited by the two sexes
| to-day. Even if we knew to what degree
| these differences are due to essential, ma
tural requirements, and to what degree
they have been developed by human in
sttutions, his knowledge would of course,
! by no means be conclusive with regard to
the desrability of perpetuating some
of these differences; still it would
serve to clear up the elements OF the
problem. Scientific men, or men assum-
| ing to speak in the name of science, have
not seldom spoken contemptuously of the
argument of Mills "Subjection of Wom-
en-" on the ground that he ignored the
physiological causes which make women
what they are, and attended only to
the social causes; but it is certainly not
too much to say that these critics have
usually committed the far graver offence
against science, OF assuming knowledge
which science has not yet given us.
A very interesting experimental investi-
CATION of the origin of a strictly phvsio-

Science, for Aug. s. 1t has been known
ever since l744 that the two sexes exhibit
a decided difference in the mechanism of
breathing; the breathing of males being
chiefly effected by the diaphragm, that of
females largely by the costal portion of
the chest. 1t has been generally supposed
that this restricted use of the diaphragm in
females was "a peculiar reservation
against the period of CESSATION, when the
abdomen cannot allow of so free descent
of the diaphragm;" but DR.. Mays of Phil
adelphia, by series of careful expert
ments upon eighty-two pure-blooded and
half-breed Indian girls, has quite disprov
ed this view and makes it highly probable
that the peculiar type of breathing found
in our females has been developed by ''the
constructing influence of dress around the
abdomen" The full-blooded Indian girls
were found in every instance to possess
the strictly abdominal type of breathing,
